“The work of Joseph Schillinger positions himself as one of a small handfulof important music composition theorists of the twentieth century. Many ofthe seminal ideas in computer music are indebted to the Schillinger’swritings, although few theorists are aware of it. Schillinger and his ideasare not well known to musicians today. It is a great pleasure to me to seean effort by the wide audience of musicians. Phil DiTullio and the Societyare to be commended for their efforts” -Lou Cohen, MIT

I had the pleasure of discussing the Schillinger Society courses with Philip and Teresa DiTullio during their visit to Montreal andsigned up for the Rhythm Engineering Course the following week. Thefollowing months saw my knowledge of rhythm families literally explode,influencing my work in ways I could not imagine, juggling with counterpointand poly-rhythms as I never had before. This course has opened my mindand my ears to compositional capabilities I could only barely imagine.

It has only been about a month or so that I have been studying the system, and I can honestly say I am now a better and far more confident composer. I have been a student of music for at leastforty-five years and it is mind-boggling that this system has hadso much contempt prior to investigation. After just a short time withthis gift, you will begin to hear Schillinger concepts in manytime-tested compositions.”

The Schillinger System of Musical Composition has given me a new way of seeing and understanding music. It’s a detailed, meticulousand complete system that gives a lot of tools (solutions) to face the mental blockings when writing a musical piece. Theintegral and scientific way of approaching music gives clarityand calmness, besides, the support and mentoring that is providedduring the course makes you feel assertive and stimulated forcontinuous learning and composing.

'Attending the Speaking Schillinger classes has had a very positive effect on the way I appreciate music. The techniques I have learned are offering me fresh insights into the way I approach improvisation, composition & arranging. Something that I lacked, even after many years of personal study. Classes are always enjoyable and informative. I will continue to study this highly underrated system of composition.

Thanks to Phil and Lou! Great Teachers!'

As someone who's known about the system for over 25 years and struggled to make effective use of it, the class has been a musical game changer. It's a place to pick the brains of fellow travelers and get the clarity and answers I need to make progress.The Schillinger System is not a replacement for musical intuition and creativity. It's a way to focus and channel the knowledge and ability you already have.

After a very short acclimation period, however, I realized working with the Schillinger Society lets you get very, very interestingresults without studying for ages! I was floored by how quickly Iwas able to work with rhythms in interesting time signatures asa result of just scratching the surface of this system. That phraseis overused in my opinion, but I use it here without questionthat it is appropriate. I've intended to expand my options as faras being able to come of with rhythms in less common timesignatures.

"As an aspiring musician, the Schillinger System has completely changed my mindset towards composition. My mind is no longer trapped within traditional methods. The system contains an abundance of approaches and methods to ensure that ‘writer’s block’ is never an obstacle. If you’re looking to eliminate the guesswork and have a more surgical approach to how you compose, look no further than the Schillinger System." - Wally Wright
